COLLEGE MEN: Cody Zeller scored 18 points and Victor Oladipo added 13, leading No. 18 Indiana past No. 5 Michigan State 70-55 on Tuesday night in Bloomington, Ind., its third victory over a top five team this basketball season.

The Hoosiers (22-7, 10-7 Big Ten) upset No. 1 Kentucky and No. 2 Ohio State in December and now the Spartans, who could have clinched their second outright Big Ten title in four seasons with a victory.

Michigan State (24-6, 13-4) can still win the outright crown with a victory over No. 10 Ohio State on Sunday.

It was Indiana coach Tom Crean’s first win over Tom Izzo, his former boss at Michigan State.

• Duke rolls behind Kelly: Ryan Kelly scored a career-high 23 points and No. 4 Duke held on to beat host Wake Forest 79-71 at Winston-Salem, N.C., for its seventh straight win. Kelly put up 20 points against the Demon Deacons for the third straight time, and Seth Curry finished with 15 points for the Blue Devils (26-4, 13-2 Atlantic Coast Conference).

Duke led by 23 points with 91/2 minutes left before Wake Forest made things tense late.

• Vanderbilt upsets Florida: John Jenkins hit six 3-pointers and finished with 22 points, and Vanderbilt beat No. 16 Florida 77-67 at Nashville, Tenn., to clinch a first-round bye in the Southeastern Conference tournament.

Wade said he offered apology at game

NBA: Insisting he meant no harm, Dwyane Wade revealed that he has apologized to Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant multiple times for a blood-drawing, nose-breaking foul during the All-Star game.

The first of those apologies, Wade said, came during the game when he saw Bryant’s face had been bloodied. Wade also said he sent the Lakers’ star a message after the game in Orlando, Fla., on Sunday night.

“I don’t care what I’m portrayed as,” Wade said after Miami’s first practice following the league’s All-Star break. “It’s unfortunate, obviously. I don’t want to ever hurt anybody in this game, especially on a freak play like that. It’s unfortunate. I send my apologies. But it’s not intentional. If it’s something I did intentionally, it’d be a different story.”

Then, after Capitals coach Dale Hunter pulled goalie Michal Neuvirth, Brouwer deflected a shot by Brooks Laich past Nabokov to tie it with 25.5 seconds to play.

• Charging Ottawa blanks Bruins: Robin Lehner stopped 32 shots for his first career shutout and Erik Karlsson scored the lone goal, lifting surging Ottawa to a 1-0 win over host Boston.
